    How to Convert Gram per Cubic Centimeter to Pound per Gallon

    • 1 g/cm³ = 8.345404452 lb/gal
    • 1 lb/gal = 0.1198264273 g/cm³
    • Example: convert 15 g/cm³ to lb/gal: 15 g/cm³ = 15 × 8.345404452 lb/gal = 125.1810668 lb/gal

    Reference conditions. lb/gal: Per US gallon (231 in³).

    Formula

    lb/gal = g/cm³ × 8.345404452019

    Derivation from SI units:

    • 1 g/cm³ = 10⁻³ kg ÷ 10⁻⁶ m³ = 1000 kg/m³
    • 1 lb/gal = 0.45359237 kg ÷ 0.003785411784 m³ = 119.8264273 kg/m³
    • 1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³ ÷ 119.8264273169 kg/m³ per lb/gal = 8.345404452019 lb/gal

    Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Gram per Cubic Centimeter definition: gram per cubic centimeter; Pound per Gallon definition: pound per gallon.
